Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your system up and running.
This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors
and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section

noted in each step for details on installing specic components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, le a damage claim with the carrier

who delivered it.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical

noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet.

is required

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack.
Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back

of the rack to allow for sufcient airow and ease in servicing.This product is for

installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 1028GQ-TR(T) User's Manual

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.

Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.

• Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before

touching them.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature
of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airow required

for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
the equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack
itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply
connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of
power strips, etc.).

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

• Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

SUPERSERVER 1028GQ-TR(T) User's Manual

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different
assembly procedure. This rail set ts a rack between 25.6" and 33" deep.

The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack
mounting hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions

that came with the specic rack you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rails

The chassis comes with two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the
chassis and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is pre-attached
to the chassis, and an outer rail that attaches to the rack.

Figure 5-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

Assembling the Outer Rails

Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting
onto the rack.

Assembling the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward.
Match the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the
right rails.

2. Align the round post in the rear rail (B) with the round hole at the end of the slot
in the front rail (A), and slide the front section into the rear section.

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to t into

your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be
removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.

Outer Rail Installation

1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the
front of the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket
snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.

2. Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.

3. Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D)
and push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place,
securing the rail to the rack.

Note: The gure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at

the bottom of the rack rst.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the

rack must be bolted to the oor before you slide the unit out for servicing.

Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

There are ve LEDs that provide status information about the system.

Power

The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug
system before servicing.

Unit Identication

The uinit identication (UID) button turns on or off the blue light function of the

Information LED and a blue LED on the rear of the chassis. These are used to
locate the server in large racks and server banks.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

The chassis includes two push-buttons that control power to the system.

Power

Indicates power is being supplied to the system power supply units. This LED should
normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

NIC2 and NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN2 or LAN1 when ashing.

Overheating

There are several possible responses if the system overheats.

Overheat Temperature Setting

Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by
changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual
at www.supermicro.com. (Click Support, then the Manuals link.)

Responses

If the server overheats:

1. Use the LEDs to determine the nature of the overheating condition.

2. Conrm that the chassis covers are installed properly.

3. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally.

4. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA drives. Each drive carrier
displays two status LEDs on the front of the carrier.
